MATCH PREVIEW: BRIDLINGTON TOWN (A)

13 Nov 2026

Share:

A new week, a new cup competition for the Silkmen, as we are on the road yet again as we travel to Bridlington Town in the FA Trophy. 

John Rooney’s side will be looking to put a good run together in this season’s competition after going out to Woking last season in the Last 32.

Bridlington have had an excellent run so far in the competition, reaching the Second Round by getting past Congleton Town, Whitby Town and Curzon Ashton on their way to this stage.

It will be a tough test for the Silkmen, and they will need to be on their game to avoid a potential banana skin to a side two leagues below them in the football pyramid.

The Silkmen return to Bridlington after our 2-2 draw with Scarborough Athletic in February, who were ground-sharing at the time.

Queensgate,

Bridlington,

YO16 7LN
